Favourite 3 Australian trails (can you say why if possible – not crucial):
Overseas trail I want to ride the most: I would Love to ride part of the Kokoda Trail, just to say that I have done it and would definitely have some stories to tell.
Pet Goats Name: Barry.
Scariest Downhill moment: Motoring down Crabapple hits at Whistler (fast DH trail with big jumps) When my rear brakes went completely... didn’t realise that they had been leaking. Had to try feather my front brakes in a straight line to slow me down. Hoping that I wouldn’t run off the track and upset mumma bear and her babies.
